Pride Arts Statement on OneBC in South Okanagan:

Pride Arts BC is a movement grounded in inclusivity, equity, love and protest. We believe in using the arts as a meaningful platform for advocating for rights and recognition of marginalized communities.

We are deeply troubled by the upcoming Townhall with OneBC in the South Okanagan, and by the institutions that choose to lend them space. Their platform is built on fear and division, targeting 2SLGBTQIA+, Indigenous, Black, Immigrant, and Racialized communities. Beneath their rhetoric lies a campaign to reduce, restrict, and strip away the human rights of those already made vulnerable by systems of oppression.

Pride Arts condemns the mission of OneBC without hesitation. We stand in solidarity with the Penticton Trade & Convention Centre in its refusal to host them, and with every community member and organization that rejects the hateful narratives OneBC authors. We recognize these actions not as censorship or a diversion from dialogue, but as an enduring stance against hate. Refusing to provide a platform for groups who seek to diminish human rights is affirming dignity, protecting community, and choosing compassion over fear.

Our position is unwavering: art as a catalyst for justice, community as a refuge of belonging, and love as a force stronger than fear.

Thank you for the thoughtful & intential article, HomoCulture!!

“The stage was alive all afternoon and into the evening with a carefully curated mix of artists representing the diversity of q***r voices in British Columbia.

Local and regional voices shone alongside established names, proving the power of representation across all stages.

Beyond the stage, Gyro Park was filled with color and creativity. Paintings, drawings, and floral arrangements were on display, showcasing how visual art intersects with q***r identity. These works were not only beautiful but also symbolic, celebrating growth, resilience, and love through color and form.

Equally important was the presence of a community health outreach booth, providing resources on wellness, LGBTQ services, and mental health. The conversations happening here were as valuable as those on stage—proof that Pride events can nurture both celebration and care.”

Pride Arts Festival Osoyoos 2025 filled Gyro Park with LGBTQ art, performances, a pride march, and grassroots community celebration in the South Okanagan.
